SUPPORTING IDEAS
WEEK 7
The supporting ideas are the more
focused arguments that bolster the
main ideas. They have a clear and
direct connection with the main ideas.
Supporting details consist of the additional
information the author provides so readers can
understand the main idea completely. The
function of details is to support (explain,
illustrate, prove) the information in the main idea
sentence.
Details consists of specific information such as
examples, explanations, descriptions, proof, and
statistics.
Note that examples are always details.
There are clues that can help you identify supporting details:
Clue #1: Details often appear in a bulleted, numbered, or lettered list.
Clue #2: After the first detail, other details are introduced by words and
phrases such as In addition, also, moreover, another, next, then, last,
finally, etc.
Clue #3: The main idea sentence itself often gives you a clue about the
number or type of supporting details. Watch for clues such as four
reasons, two kinds, six types, certain ways, three categories, etc.
Clue 1
Clue #1 Details often appear in a bulleted, numbered, or lettered list.
For example, you might see this paragraph in a textbook. (The sample
paragraph is repeated in various formats; the clues are underlined.)
There are three types of information.
• There are facts, which consist of information that can be verified or proved.
• There are opinions, which cannot be proved or disproved.
• There is incorrect information, which can be disproved.
CLUE 2
Clue #2 After the first detail, other details are
introduced by words and phrases such as In addition,
also, moreover, another, next, then, last, finally, etc.
There are three types of information. There are facts,
which consist of information that can be verified or
proved. In addition. there are opinions, which cannot be
proved or disproved. Also. there is incorrect
information, which can be disproved.
CLUE 3
Clue#3 The main idea sentence itself often gives you a clue about the
number or type of supporting details. Watch for clues such as four
reasons, two kinds, six types, certain ways, three categories, etc.
There are three types of information. First, there are facts, which
consist of information that can be verified or proved. In addition, there
are opinions, which cannot be proved or disproved (proved incorrect).
Also, there is incorrect information, which can be disproved.
The Edge:
• Main ideas are general; details are specific.
• Examples are always details.
• Number the details in textbook paragraphs; do not underline
or highlight them. (You'll mark everything!)
Locating the Supporting Details
Turn the main idea sentence into one or more questions by using who, what,
when, where, and why. The supporting details will answer the questions you
create.
Example
Main idea: "There are three types of plagiarism."
Question: What are the three types of plagiarism?
Supporting details:
• global plagiarism--"lifting" a whole work and acting as if you wrote it
• patchwork-- "stitching" together pieces from various sources
• incremental--not giving proper credit for quotes or paraphrases
